Lost On Time: Chess in Art: Chess Board Cubism
http://lostontime.blogspot.com/2017/01/chess-in-art-chess-board-cubism.html
We all lose on time in the end. Friday, 6 January 2017. Chess in Art: Chess Board Cubism. Already almost a week in, but still time to wish you a Happy New Year - and kick it off with some more chess in art. Looking around, there is no shortage of it: there are so many websites and blog posts now devoted it, including these. Not forgetting a stunning book. And more. Non-figurative artists have looked to the motivation behind the moves. The geometry in the play. The rolling thought beneath. This is typical...

Lost On Time: The Bird Has Landed
http://lostontime.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-bird-has-landed.html
We all lose on time in the end. Friday, 16 December 2016. The Bird Has Landed. Weighing-in at around 1.7 kg, with a hefty price tag to match (about £35 a kilo), this is more than a mere stocking filler. It's the big one in Santa's sack: Hans Renette's monumental biography of Henry Edward Bird (1829-1908). Scientific American Supplement, 20 October 1877. Bird lived - latterly anyway - a short walk away from chez moi. When blogging, a few years back. And there is no memorial anywhere of his burial. The...

Lost On Time: Guardian of supreme excellence in the game
http://lostontime.blogspot.com/2016/12/guardian-of-supreme-excellence-in-game.html
We all lose on time in the end. Tuesday, 6 December 2016. Guardian of supreme excellence in the game. I've not really had my eye on Ray for a while, for one reason or another, so it was only just yesterday morning that I came across his Times column for October 24. Here's how it starts. Here's how it goes on. And here's the same move annotated on page 15 of the first volume of My Great Predecessors (Garry Kasparov, Everyman, 2003). Ray's at it again. Ray Keene plagiarism index. Plagiarised by Ray index.

Lost On Time: The king stay the king
http://lostontime.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-king-stay-king.html
We all lose on time in the end. Thursday, 24 November 2016. The king stay the king. On BBC Radio Four at 11 this morning, or any time after 1130 if you want to listen on iPlayer. Anyway these days we no longer have to listen live, which is just as well as I'll be working when the show's on. Matter of fact I probably won't get to hear it until Saturday. So if anybody hears it before then and has anything to say about it, please do use the space below, and don't worry about spoilers. It wasnt until 2006 th...

Chess Miscellanea: Ατομικό Πρωτάθλημα Ανδρών 2011 (6)
http://chessnewsgr.blogspot.com/2011/12/2011-6.html
Σάββατο, 3 Δεκεμβρίου 2011. Ατομικό Πρωτάθλημα Ανδρών 2011 (6). Δυστυχώς το πρόβλημα που αντιμετωπίζει ο Ηλίας Κουρκουνάκης δεν υποχώρησε και έτσι αναγκάστηκε σήμερα να αποχωρήσει από το πρωτάθλημα. Τα αποτελέσματά του ακυρώνονται ως προς τη βαθμολογία και ισχύουν μόνο για τυχόν νόρμες. Μετά από αυτήν την εξέλιξη, χρήσιμο είναι να παραθέσουμε τη βαθμολογία όπως έχει διαμορφωθεί μετά και τα σημερινά αποτελέσματα:. 1 Παυλίδης Αντώνης 4.5/5. 2 Παυλίδης Αναστάσιος 4/4. 3 Αγγελής 3.5/5. 7 Μουτούσης 1.5/4.

Chess Miscellanea: Ατομικό Πρωτάθλημα Ανδρών 2011 (5)
http://chessnewsgr.blogspot.com/2011/12/2011-5.html
Παρασκευή, 2 Δεκεμβρίου 2011. Ατομικό Πρωτάθλημα Ανδρών 2011 (5). Ναούμ-Παυλίδης Αναστ. 0-1 Slav 6.Ne5. Βαριάντα-δηλητήριο αυτό το 6.Na6 που έπαιξε ο Παυλίδης. Η σωστή αντιμετώπιση είναι να παιχτεί 7.e3 Nb4 8.Bxc4 e6 9.0-0 με τον λευκό να σκοράρει σε φυσιολογικά ποσοστά - π.χ. Grischuk-Sriram World Cup 2009 - αλλά και παρτίδες της super-elite, Carlsen-Kramnik, World Blitz Ch, 2008 και Karjakin-Kramnik, Amber 2008. Μετά το 7.f3? Μουτούσης-Νικολαΐδης 1/2 Slav Exchange. Αφού χάθηκε αυτή η ευκαιρία η παρτίδα...

!?: Sheer dumb luck
http://retardedknight.blogspot.com/2009/02/sheer-dumb-luck.html
An old chess player invited his five sons to his deathbed. He challenged them each to break one stick. The sons easily accomplished this task. The father then put all five sticks together, and challenged the eldest son to break the bundle - and the eldest son broke them all at once over his knee. The father's last words were: "What can I say? All your life you were stupid and you'll never learn anything.". Sunday, February 15, 2009. February 17, 2009 at 9:54 AM.
